Yesterday I noticed that My Honda City 2017 was leaking engine oil. Which was very worrying as it is only 4000 kms driven. On self inspection I found out that oil was leaking from the bottom part of the engine (Gan area). I took the car to Honda Gateway Lahore. After lifting the car up we were able to see that the oil was covering the area around the oil filter. My first thought was that oil filter was leaking. But the oil was covering the engine block about 4 inches above the filter as well.
On seeing this my heart just dropped as I thought that something was horribly wrong with the engine and it will cost me a lot of effort in trying to claim the warranty and all.
Anyways after 4 mechanics inspected it they concluded that the oil filter was faulty and was leaking oil and due to air the fuel had spread on the engine above oil filter.
Since I had the oil and oil filter changed by Honda Gateway only a few days ago they replaced the oil filter without any argument. I was told by the mechanic to run the car for 2-3 days and then check to see if the oil was still leaking. Hopefully it won't.
But this was really scary and goes to show the quality of parts Honda is supplying to its costumers and making sure that they comeback with bigger problems caused by the faulty parts they provided.
